We wanted to share a video that dives into the nuances of G7 certification and color consistency in printing. In this discussion, we explore the advantages of continuous color evaluation over annual fingerprinting, emphasizing the importance of real-time data to accurately track and adjust for color consistency. We sit down with DJ Cabler and Jack Frank of WestRock, to talk about how they use data to streamline their color management.
- Why evaluating color on every job, every day, is more effective than a once-a-year certification snapshot.
- How documenting every detail can help you avoid costly issues and pinpoint the exact causes of color shifts.
- The benefits of using neutral gray software for verifying G7 and understanding press conditions.
Color Rules relies on the adherence to four main phases. Each phase of the process requires a documented procedure that must be followed closely to achieve true success.
Do you have an inline closed-loop color control device that scans every sheet? For the fourth and final step in the process, drive the press to target density. Get there as quickly as possible and maintain density throughout the run.
- Test and update your ink key presetting curves on a regular basis
- Use only inks that meet GRACoL specifications
- Tweak your densities based on neutral grey
- Run every color to recommended LAB/Best Match density with the lowest Delta E possible
By installing LithoFlash and following the outlined Color Rules process, you will reduce waste, improve performance, and save time and money.
